Video: Director Anita Rochon Discusses A DOLL'S HOUSE at Theatre Calgary
The Canadian Premiere of Amy Herzog's Tony Award-nominated adaptation runs April 7 through May 3, 2026 at the Max Bell Theatre.
Theatre Calgary has released a director interview with Anita Rochon, who gives a peek behind the curtain on A DOLL'S HOUSE, the Canadian Premiere of Amy Herzog's acclaimed new version of Henrik Ibsen's classic, now playing through May 3, 2026 at the Max Bell Theatre (Werklund Centre) in Calgary. In the video, Rochon discusses the enduring relevance of this theatrical giant and the thrill of working with her devoted cast.
Presented in partnership with Arts Club Theatre Company (Vancouver), the production features Herzog's Tony Award-nominated adaptation, the same fresh, compact, and devastatingly contemporary version that took Broadway by storm. The story follows Nora Helmer, a wife harboring a dangerous secret within the facade of a perfect marriage.
Alexandra Lainfesta leads the cast as Nora Helmer, joined by Daniel Briere as Torvald Helmer, Ron Pederson as Nils Krogstad, Carmela Sison as Kristine Linde, Marcus Youssef as Doctor Rank, Elinor Holt as Anne-Marie, and Dominic King as Ivar Helmer.
The creative team includes Amir Ofek (set design), Ralamy Kneeshaw (costumes), Narda McCarroll (lighting), and Malcolm Dow (sound design and composition), with Lisa Goebel serving as choreographer and intimacy director.
A DOLL'S HOUSE runs 2 hours and 20 minutes including intermission. For tickets and information, visit Theatre Calgary online or contact the box office at 403-294-7447. Box office hours are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday, noon to 6 p.m.
